Tropical tree native to India. Seed came from progeny produced by the tree under which Buddha obtained enlightenment. Very rare. Correctly identified (see leaf form). Robust plant is an excellent potted plant for indoors. Needs bright light, warmth. They are a fine find for blessing your tropical, greenhouse, or sunroom garden. Sow seed warm and in the light. Barely cover with soil and tamp securely. Greenhouse or light room best. Seedlings actually do develop quite quickly into sturdy saplings. Keep as a potted plant or plant outdoors in the tropics.

Wow. I thought I’d have trouble with these so I planted the whole packet. I had so many I had to sell and give away a lot by fall. Haha. Very nice plants and if you forget to water them sometimes they come right back lol.

I had good luck sprouting these. They took a little while, but grew rapidly once they finally emerged. I gave most of the seedlings away but one that I kept is about 16” tall and seems healthy. This one plant is well worth the cost of the seed pack, and I still have about 90 seeds left.
